I was able to finish my interview the day after this
assignment was given to us. At first I was stumped on who to interview that
would be interesting enough to write a paper on. That was until I had gotten an
unexpected visit from my dear aunt Carmen. She is the most thrifty woman I know
that enjoys the smaller things in life. She came over with some pizza and Pepsi
and we started to catch up. She told me all about her volunteer work for Sandy
victims who just so happened to be some of her closest friends. As she told her
story I sat there in silence listening and thinking of how amazing of
a story this was and how I had to write about it, whether it was a free write
for my journal or writing for a class paper. After she told her story I had
asked to conduct an interview with her and she was more than happy to. The
interview was emotional and definitely hits the heart. She is a free woman and
newly-wed lesbian that enjoys long walks, spending quality time with her loved
ones and helping those in need. I think she is the perfect interviewee for this
'Personal Profile' assignment.
I am thinking of writing this paper based on what it truly
means to live free from my aunt’s point of view. I don’t want to just list the
interview and write a very journalistic personal profile. Just some thoughts..
